Hotel mode disables options you don't want some random person messing with(inputs, language, etc). 'Smart' TVs are a perfect example of everything wrong with the business/consumer relationship. We are paying for the privilege of being spied upon more intrusively than ever, and the companies see us using workarounds and rather than stop their behavior they double down because what recourse does the customer have? We need fines over all of this shit. As long as it makes them money rather than costing them, this will continue.
